You don't (or can't) use mod_scgi for Apache 1.3, but still want to use
SCGI for your Quixote app? Help is here! I've written a CGI script (in C)
that acts as a proxy to a SCGI server. It's based on Neil's mod_scgi
code.

Get it at http://arbutus.physics.mcmaster.ca/dmc/software/ .

I've tested the speed with Apache 1.3 and Apache 2, and on my machine (a
1.3 GHz Athlon) it serves requests in about twice the time that mod_scgi
does -- but still much faster than using a Python script for CGI.

It does require some modifications to the QuixoteHandler used by
quixote (since CGI scripts set PATH_INFO, while mod_scgi doesn't); see
the quixote/ directory in the source for demo_scgi.py that works with
this and mod_scgi.
